I sounded like a dummy!

"One time in class I had to give a speech on the world's first camera and photo processing techniques. I explained that most of the people in photographs back then had to hold really still for up to half an hour which is why they hardly ever smiled. After that, I added, 'Like the Mona Lisa.' Everyone, including my teacher was looking at me funny, and the dumbest kid in my class blurted out, 'The Mona Lisa was a painting!' I felt so stupid! -Amanda, 14, Bend, OR
